I want to congratulate Stacy Barnett for winning the classes he entered at the Shift Sector race event this weekend in California. Until this past weekend, I don't believe Stacy had ever even driven a Gallardo. The Underground Racing TT 2R Gallardo was delivered to California Saturday morning, and he made a couple of 1/2 track pulls to feel the car out and made one full pass Saturday at 215 mph! That was on a lower power setting, and that was all for Saturday. On Sunday (today) the guys started easing some more power in it for Stacy to get the feel of the higher boost levels. There was a lot of tire spinning and aborted runs, but he got one good pass in today and set a new world record at 224.99 mph in the 1/2 mile! And the car was never put on full kill! Stacy did an incredible job this weekend, and his Gallardo was on street tires (Toyo R888's).


For safety reasons, Stacy opted out of any roll racing for the safety of him and other drivers, which was a good thing because on a couple of passes I hear he crossed over into another lane. Stacy will be ready for the next TI event for plenty of roll race action.


I also want to mention that Jorje also took delivery of his Underground Racing R Spyder. Because it is a Spyder with NO cage, the event staff didn't want him to go over 200 mph, so he had a ton of pulls coasting through the traps. Jorje did the right thing and took his time making solo runs as well. His car was never set to an aggressive boost level. I believe before the R Gallardo that he took delivery of this weekend, he had never been in a car making more than 600 HP, but I believe his last pass he went 205 mph. He did a great job driving his new Underground Racing Lamborghini!



Finally, I want to thank all the guys for heading out to CA on last minute notice for race support for our customers, namely KC, Tim, and John Reed.

 

You failed to mention Taylor Sims with Dallas performance busted out a 220.15 yesterday but due to no cage wasn't allow to run today. UGR better get ready this year there is going to be great competition.

 

I didn't fail to mention anyone. Didn't that car break? Maybe with a little more nitrous it will be as fast as a 2R?

TI KOTS wins
Underground 3
LMR 1
Rest of world 0

I see you have a S-351. Great car. I have owned some. Is it a supercharged car?

 

Kevin the 99 s351 I have was yours and no his car didn't break.

 

lol at the troll attempt.

Congrats to Stacy and UR on the successful weekend.

 

What color is it?

 

Red has cage the ysi with the tfs r intake. Has your old UGR sticker on it.

 

Damn! Good job, Stacy! 224 in the 1/2 mile is mind boggling. 220 mph from DP is also very stout, no denying that, but wasn't that a DP shop car and not a customer car like UGR?

 

I had some fun with that car back in the day. It was once at 1000 whp. A LOT back then. Cleaned house with that car on the NC streets.

 

It is funny you think there is nitrous on any DP cars. There is in fact no nitrous on any of them.

 

Congrats Stacy! Nice to see the competition stepping it up, will be fun at TI next year.

 

There's none on mine DP tt car. No reason for it plenty of power

 

Shop car or not. Stage 1r DP car not on kill runs 220.15 against a customers UGR stage 2r runs 224.99 not on kill. Who cares customers or shop car. There's a whole stage difference between the 2

 

Umm..there is a big difference between a shop car and a customer car. If you have been in the game long enough you would know that.

Also keep in mind that the UGR owner has never driven the car until this event. It takes time and practice to get adjusted with a car of this power level. Hell, it took me 3-4 days just to get acquainted with my measly stage 3.

Not taking anything away from DP's shop car, it's an impressive showing.

 

Stage difference (premeditated excuses)? Says who? All you DP guys crack me up? Get out of here with that BS. Thanks.
